Byte Size Name Description
0 16 Filename Padded to 16 bytes Name of the file, padded with nulls 16 1 Block number Filename (padded with blanks)The first block is 1, numbers are consecutive 17 1 Last block A non-zero value means that this is the last block of a file 18 1 File type A value recording the type of the file (see below) 19 2 Data length The number of data bytes in the data record 21 2 Data location Where the data was written from originally 23 1 First block A non-zero value means that this is the first block of a file 24 2 Logical length This is the total length of the file in bytes 26 2 Entry address The execution address for machine code programs
The file type (byte 18) is split into a number of fields:
Bit 0 Protection If this bit is set the file is protected in some way
Bits 1..3 File contents 0 = Internal BASIC
1 = Binary 2 = Screen image 3 = ASCII 4..7 are unallocated Bits 4..7 Version ASCII files should be version 1, all other files, version 0
= Trapping the ROM routine =
Entry Point 2836 29A6 29A6
Exit Point 2872 29E2 29E2
